OBJECTIVES OF THE CONFERENCE
The conference aims to encompass all aspects of radiological emergencies including awareness, education and mitigation programs. The conference will serve as a forum: To create awareness amongst the professionals, the
general public and the media; regarding radiological technologies and their justified use
To strengthen the awareness regarding possible safety and security issues associated with these technologies
To eliminate the stigma concerning radiological procedures and professions
To prepare and train medical/ radiation physicists and medical professionals to support the response to radiological emergencies at the hospital or at a regional or national level
To promote safe application of radiation in healthcare, industry and applications in other fields for the welfare of mankind
To impart skills to hold responsibilities and be leaders in case of radiological accidents/ emergencies
To increase the coordination between the various medical professionals and other communities in face of a radiological emergency
To promote cooperation and sharing of knowledge and expertise amongst the various scientific communities and agencies
TARGET AUDIENCE To increase the efficacy of the programme and make its effect widespread, all medical professionals, medical/ radiation physicists, radiation safety professionals, radiological emergency response professionals, radiobiologists, nursing and paramedical professionals, radiation & biomedical professionals, nuclear scientists, educationalists and esteemed scholars, students, volunteers, representatives of the public, media persons are welcomed to the conference. .
Dear Colleagues, Greetings from Jaipur, Pink City of India !!!
It gives us immense pleasure to invite you to the International conference on Radiological Emergency and Management, ICONRADEM 2019 organized by the Department of Radiological Physics, SMS Medical College and Hospitals Jaipur, Rajasthan during 9th to 11th February 2019 at ‘Sushruth Sabhagar’ SMS Hospital Jaipur. The theme of the conference is ‘better the awareness and preparedness: better the emergency management’. There has always been concern, anxiety and fear regarding the use of ionizing radiation. This emphasizes the need for creating awareness and emergency preparedness amongst the professionals as well as the public. Please visit the conference website: ‘www.iconradem.org’ for details and updates. On behalf of Organizing Committee, we welcome you all to this scientific bonanza at the ‘Pink City’ of India. Padharo Mhare Desh (Welcome to my land)!!!
Organising Chairman Prof Arun Chougule Sr. Prof & Head Department of Radiological Physics SMS Medical College & Hospitals, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

ESSENCE OF THE CONFERENCE
Radiation has proved itself to be a boon to mankind. Ionizing radiation has a significant impact on our day to day life by virtue of its applications in various fields of agriculture (Radappertization, Radicidation and Radurization), healthcare (Radiation therapy for malignant and non-malignant diseases, interventional and non-interventional diagnostic or therapeutic procedures, in vivo and in vitro studies), industry (sterilization, NDT and radiotracers) and research (genetic engineering of seeds, accelerators). With the use of radioactive isotopes of varying strengths and physical forms, though the spectrum of benefits widened, the probability of hazards also increased. This necessitates further development in teaching and training facilities. Though trained professionals deal with the safety and protection of the radiation sources and the personnel dealing with radiation, but human error, negligence or even ignorance can lead to a potential threat like the incident in Brazil(1987), Georgia(1997), Thailand(2000) and Mayapuri, New Delhi(2010). Moreover, the general public and also emergency workers could be exposed to radiation or be contaminated as a consequence of malicious acts involving radioactive material. Without adequate preparedness of the medical community for such radiation emergencies, medical management of the situation could be ineffective. The need of the hour is to frame protocols under the supervision of experts of radiological emergency management. ICONRADEM-2019 focuses on bringing knowledgeable professionals from across the world under one roof to discuss, dispense and deliberate on radiological safety and protection. The conference will deal with the various myths and misconceptions surrounding the use of ionizing radiation; safety in the medical use; protection of the staff, patients and general public and emergency preparedness in case of a radiological emergency. Currently the role of medical physicist is confined to radiotherapy, diagnostics and research; but this conference can serve as a platform to rekindle and reckon their role as radiation safety experts and shall be instrumental in dissolving the fear and stigma.
